I’ll Cry Instead - The Beatles

Album: A Hard Day's Night

genre: Country Rock and Roll

I’ve got every reason on earth to be mad
Cos I’ve just lost the only girl I had
And if I could get my way
I’d get myself locked up today
But I can’t so I cry instead

I’ve got a chip on my shoulder that’s bigger than my feet
I can’t talk to people that I meet
And if I could see you now
I’d try to make you sad somehow
But I can’t so I cry instead

Don’t want to cry when there’s people there
I get shy when they start to stare
I’m gonna hide myself away, ay hay
But I’ll come back again someday

And when I do you’d better hide all the girls
I’m gonna break their hearts all ’round the world
Yes, I’m gonna break them in two
And show you what your loving man can do
Until then I’ll cry instead

Don’t want to cry when there’s people there
I get shy when they start to stare
I’m gonna hide myself away, ay hay
But I’ll come back again someday

And when I do you’d better hide all the girls
Cos I’m gonna break their hearts all ’round the world
Yes, I’m gonna break them in two
And show you what your loving man can do
Until then I’ll cry instead
